The doctrine of atonement attempts to elaborate the statement of the Creed that it was "for us men and for our salvation" that Jesus Christ was born, lived, died and rose again. It has tried to show how these facts are central for the establishment of a new community between God and man. The fact that this doctrine has never been defined as dogma may derive partly from uncertainty about the use of language; but most certain it derives from the fact that what is here spoken of is the mystery of an ‘act of God’. Atonement bas been made and is established from beyond the human world.
